One of the biggest benefits of shooting in RAW is the ability to adjust your temperature in post. Manually adjusting your Kelvin while you shoot will save you time, but you can achieve the same results when shooting auto white balance and adjusting the temperature to your liking in post.

For a film inspired look, we recommend looking for the same clean and even light a film photographer would shoot in. Like with any preset, you will need to make simple adjustments to accommodate different lighting situations (exposure, temperature and tint). Z-Presets has been tested on thousands of reception and flash images, indoor studios, natural indoor light, full sun, shade, backlighting and have found it applies beautifully and consistently. If you need additional help achieving the look you want with your particular set-up, we would highly recommend reaching out to our support team.

We recommend exposing properly for your subjects. If you prefer more contrast and mood, take your exposure down a stop or two and adjust in post to your liking. For a softer, light and airy look, we’d suggest upping your exposure by a stop.

Since Z-Presets was created to emulate the look of medium format film, for best results, we recommend shooting as wide open as possible to achieve that beautiful bokeh and depth of field. Depending on the look you want, F 1.4 - F 2.8 is optimal.

The Z-Presets was created for RAW images, which provide a greater range of adjustment in post-processing. However, you can apply the presets to .JPEG images and still achieve a similar look with some adjustments.

The Z-Presets are compatible with Adobe Lightroom 4 or later, Adobe Lightroom Classic CC and Adobe Camera RAW for Photoshop.

With Lightroom open, at the top left of the screen, click Lightroom > About Lightroom > and then at the top of the pop up, it will show the Release number and version of Camera Raw. The Release number is what version of Lightroom you’re currently using. For example - 9.1 Release Camera Raw 12.1.
